Thank you in advance for answering my questions And, I was so surprised & pleased to see that so many other people wondered & worried about our fine, feathered friends. I so enjoyed seeing answers to the original question – very educational. My questions run similarly to the above questions: where do birds go when it’s hailing /what do they do to avoid being injured? My next questions are: do they leave their nests when trying to keep eggs warm during hail storms/heavy, rapid rain that may injure them do they stay & protect the eggs or seek cover? also, do they leave a nest of helpless chicks when this kind of hail & rain occurs?

The heavy, rapid rain that accompanied the hail storms went on for more than10 hours & it was ice cold rain. We recently had a very heavy & very, very rapidly falling hard hail & rain storm, with very large (golf ball-baseball size) hail – at one time. The possibilities are all there – you just need to discover them.Another question, or two or three, or more.
